High above the distant Mount Vesuvius
A miniature sun hung suspended, its surroundings periodically flashing with golden torrents sparked by rapier thrusts and crescent moon-shaped sword beams that tore through all things.
Below, the volcano, caught in the crossfire of the battle, erupted with increasing ferocity, spewing forth lava and volcanic ash that painted the distant sky a dark, crimson hue.
This was the devastating scene that greeted Haru and Athena as they emerged from the underground temple.
"I couldn't sense any fluctuations of battle while we were underground. What did you do, Athena? How could you conceal it from my senses?" Haru turned slightly, his gaze meeting Athena's bright eyes as he questioned her.
"When we entered the netherworld, I also turned the entire underground temple. That's why you couldn't sense anything from the outside."
"However, because the netherworldization was activated through the Hera pillar, those of us on the ground could still perceive the outside world through this divine artifact," Athena replied, a gentle smile on her face as she addressed Haru's question.
"I see, that makes sense." A slight smile played on Haru's lips, his expression cheerful. He had just obtained the complete Earth Authority and had also taken advantage of a certain situation. Haru was in excellent spirits, even the mouthful of volcanic ash he had just ingested failing to dampen his mood.
